Expert Reviews - Vintage 2022

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 Points · 2022: The 2022 Martinet Bru comes from a warm and dry vintage, so they did part with carbonic maceration and the rest with full clusters that were foot trodden all in concrete. The wine matured in concrete and only three months in used barriques. So, the wine has freshness and lightness but also ripeness (14% alcohol) and a very expressive nose with berries, licorice, Mediterranean herbs and some spices. It has a soft palate that is juicy and fruit-driven, with a notable mouthfeel and aftertaste. It has abundant, fine-grained tannins and a sense of harmony.

Vinous, 92 Points · 2022: Hailing from Priorat, the 2022 Martinet Bru is a blend of Garnatxa, Carinyena, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon.
